\*\*Each week we typically have 2-3 spots open to players from this app. This is why you will only see 2-3 attending. The others are regulars and we coordinate in a private WhatsApp group\*\* We play a 6v6 game every Wednesday @ 8:00PM in SportsCo, Dublin 4. The pitch we use is spacious an ideal for 6v6 (ball/all bibs provided). To encourage passing and flowing football, goals can only be scored from inside the penalty area. Games are played in a friendly atmosphere and slide tackles are prohibited. We don't have stick keepers and use a last-man back policy. There is a core group of regular players who have played with us for years but we also invite a handful of pickup players to play from this app. If pickup players like the vibe they might have the option to subscribe on a longer-term basis. This game has been running on the same pitch for over a decade. The games are good quality with good technical players and always played in a nice, competitive atmosphere.

Please PREPAY for this game either by https://revolut.me/davidandl or Paypal ([kenna.david@gmail.com](http://kenna.david@gmail.com/)) √ We have just 60 minutes to play, so please come along a few minutes early to ensure we can start on time. √ The maximum number of players is 14. If you are not among the 14, please do not attend the pitch. If you are one of the 14, please be sure you show up. Places are in high demand, so unfortunately, failure to show will result in your immediate removal from the group. √ As always, you participate in these games at your own risk and agree to indemnify the organisers from any injury, loss, claim, or infection.

This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady. DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>> https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!) ## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how. ## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices** In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when. Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem. Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

Welcome to the April'26 edition of PyData Ireland. This meetup is in association with Quantum Black, AI by McKinsey. Agenda for the day: * 17:30 – Arrival * 18:00 – Start of talks (Details below) * *Jitendra Gundaniya*: **Building Agentic GenAI Pipelines with Kedro Builder (Beginner-Friendly)** * *Dmitry Sorokin*: **Let AI Agents Manage Your ML & Data Pipelines** * 19:30 – Networking \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** Building Agentic GenAI Pipelines with Kedro Builder (Beginner Friendly) **Speaker Name and Designation:** Jitendra Gundaniya, Senior Software Engineer at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey **Speaker LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitu11](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitu11) **Talk Description:** This talk shows how Kedro Builder, a visual drag-and-drop tool, can lower that barrier. We'll walk through building a simple agentic pipeline visually dragging LLM context nodes, connecting prompts and tools, and exporting a working Kedro project, all without writing boilerplate by hand. Think of it as a learning ramp: see the pipeline structure first, then dive into the code. **Key Takeaways:** * How a visual builder can make agentic pipeline patterns (LLM + prompts + tools → agent → output) more approachable for beginners * What `llm_context_node` is and how it simplifies GenAI pipeline creation in Kedro * A live walkthrough of building and exporting a GenAI pipeline using Kedro Builder * Where the visual approach helps (pipeline scaffolding, boilerplate) and where you still need code (agent logic, output schemas) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 2:** Let AI Agents Manage Your ML & Data Pipelines **Speaker Name and Designation:** Dmitry Sorokin, Senior Machine Learning Engineer II at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey **Speaker LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmd40in/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmd40in/) **Talk Description:** This talk explores how traditional data & ML pipeline frameworks can be wrapped with an MCP server, enabling AI agents (e.g. LangGraph, Claude Code) to connect and manage pipelines programmatically. We’ll look at how this approach combines the deterministic nature of production data & ML workflows with the flexibility and reasoning capabilities of modern AI agents. **Key Takeaways:** * How to expose data & ML pipelines through an MCP server * How AI agents can orchestrate and manage existing workflows * A practical pattern for combining deterministic pipelines with agentic flexibility

APIs power virtually every web and mobile application, accounting for over 80% of all Internet traffic. And APIs are under attack. Gartner states APIs have become the “most frequent attack vector," resulting in hundreds of highly successful, high profile breaches. This API security presentation covers 1) why attackers love APIs, 2) real-world breaches (and how they map to the OWASP API Security Top 10), and 3) best practices to keep APIs secure.
